Will we see Bynum becomes more explosive again after getting the kobe knee treatment in Germany? what do you think?

I think he'll get better. 2 healthy offseasons in a row can't hurt. Combine that with Orthokine and you have reason to be optimistic. But don't expect 2007-2008 Bynum to return from the dead.

Thanks! I really hope we will see 2007-2008 Bynum back. It works well for Kobe. But if not, i am still happy with this currently Bynum. He is the most offensive talent at the center position. He has a variety of moves unlike DH12. And He is going to get better. I am really looking forward to watching Nash with Gasol, Bynum and Kobe. Its going to be fun to watch.

Drew can get better at everything. He can get alot better as a player. That's a scary prospect for the rest of the NBA. You're talking about a guy who averaged 19/12 last season amd he can and will get alot better.

Bynum should work on bball stuff of course (maybe shooting a turnaround avoiding the double team), but his biggest problem is his head. Until he starts showing up every game and playing with real effort every game he's not gonna be winning chips. He needs someone to help him understand that, or help him achieve that. He needs mentorship IMO.

He's already got two. That's more than most guys have in an entire career.

Also:1) Bynum hardly played when it mattered in both title runs you referred to. It was mostly LO and Pau.

2) Bynum's lackluster showings and overall immaturity have been much more present this past season. I think it was a combination of 2 things: a) No more Phil. Brown can't even touch Phil as a motivator/mentor/advisor. b) Becoming the 2nd option, putting up big stats, being an all-star. I think all of that got into his head a bit and he started showing signs of overconfidence and arrogance (not necessarily bad -see Kobe-, but you have to "walk the walk", and we know he didn't).

Looks like he's a keeper. I'm ready to turn the Dwightmare page and start being thankful for what we've got. Now if we can just find a way or a coach who can motivate him without the arrogance and cockiness so he can develop his true potential. If he can find it, he's way better than Dwight IMO. The key is IF IF IF somebody can get his maximum ability out of him...
